Two events per Sunday, coached in depth.

The clinic runs across two Sundays, with each session focused on a different pair of events. Day One covers vault and beam. Day Two covers floor and bars. Every gymnast gets two hours of concentrated, event-specific coaching instead of a rushed pass through all four apparatus, and MaKayla can go deep on the details that separate a clean routine from a scored one.

Athletes train the way a Division I gymnast trains: quality repetitions, immediate corrections, and coaching that meets each gymnast at her current level. Whether she is building her first competitive skills at the compulsory level or refining a routine for Xcel Silver or Gold, the goal is the same: cleaner execution and more confidence on meet day.

This is a hands-on session with limited space, so each gymnast gets real reps and real feedback rather than watching from the sidelines.

Pick a rotation, or take both.

Each session is registered separately. Gymnasts can attend one session or sign up for both to cover all four events.

MaKayla Tucker is a senior all-arounder for the Michigan State Spartans, competing in all four events for one of the top programs in the Big Ten. A kinesiology major from Fishers, Indiana, she has built her career on consistency and intentional, deliberate work in every rotation.

Before East Lansing, MaKayla trained at DeVeau's Gymnastics Club under Don and Kim Gibson and Tom Strange. At the 2022 Women's Development Program National Championships she placed sixth on vault, fifth on bars, seventh on beam, eighth on floor, and sixth in the all-around.

She is known for a relaxed, steady presence that keeps a gym loose and focused at the same time, and she brings that same energy to every session.
